I lost one of my bonnet stripes even though they were on correct, I guess the wind found a little flap and it became a big flap and then.... the bonnet stripe went byebye :cry:

I guess I'll have to get the real thing.

Sorry to hear that. Were they magnetic or static cling?

If installed properly, these decals will not come off at speed.

It is very crucial that the decal is floated over a very weak detergent solution and that a good squeegee is used to get them off. Also, letting the decal "cure" on there for a day or so before high speeds helps.

Another good tip is to make sure that the leading edge is perfectly adhered. If a little corner comes loose, it will roll itself off at speed.

Sorry you lost one though, that has got to be annoying as heck!
